My Garden!

Here is my tire garden! I am very excited about it! I have only been planning this since march or so... yeah it took me some time to get everything pulled together.

I'm very grateful for all the help I have received to actually get this garden put together and planted! My dad sure did alot of work to help me out! {THANKS DAD!}

Today I purchased the plants and got them in the ground.

I thought my boys would want to help, Bob-a-loo was more interested in pouring out all the bottles of water, but monkey did plant the seeds that he picked out, cucumber {I don't know if he's ever eaten a cucumber, this might be his opportunity}.

I'm just love fresh vegetables from the garden! I was a little late for the spinach and peas {I'll try to plant a fall crop of those}. I did plant: tomatos (3 different kinds-roma, early girls, and another one I didn't recognize the name), green and red peppers, santa fe chilis, zucchini, yellow squash, basil, potatoes, cucumber, and pumpkin.

Mmmm... we're going to be eating GOOD this summer and fall! Happy Gardening!!

Hello Garden!

well, we planted our garden this last weekend! We have all the likely candidates: tomatoes, chilis, onion, spinach, broccoli, corn, zucchini, and yellow squash. This year we added some new items, and I'm really excited about them: spaghetti squash, lettuce, basil (oh yeah!!!!), green peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and pumpkin!
Monkey LOVED helping us plant the seeds. He was given the seeds and a stick broken to the length the seeds were to be separated by and he just went to town. We dup a long hole for him and he was working like a worker bee. He asked if we can plant seeds everyday. I told him he can help weed and harvest! Oddly that sounds good to him, we'll see after the summer is over how much he likes the garden. I'm just hoping this will help him WANT to eat his veggies.
bob-a-loo we're juts trying to keep out of the garden, all he wants to do is dig, dig and dig some more! Good thing we have a sand box, if only I could keep him in it!
